Slice the cake in 3 horizontal parts. Take a bowl in which the
cake fits perfectly. (use the tin used for baking the cake).
Place the butter paper strip all along the inside border
vertically. Let the ends overlap. Place the lower part of the cake into the tin
keeping the butter paper strip up and around it.
Boil the water, add jelly crystals, stir and dissolve well. Put
half the mixture in the freezer to chill. When thickened but not set, beat with
a spoon and pour on to the layer of cake in the tin.
Sprinkle a third of the biscuits crumbs on it. Place the centre
layer of cake on top.
Put in the chiller for jelly to set. Also place remaining jelly
mixture in freezer to thicken save 1 tbsp for top. Repeat as for above. Cover
with top layer of cake. Pour the remaining jelly (1 tbsp) over it, spread.
Sprinkle remain crumbs, decorated with chopped strawberries. Chill for the
topmost layer to set.
To serve very carefully insert a wide spatula under the bottom
layer. Hold the butter paper tight around the cake and transfer to a cake plate.

ice-cream.
